Dell Vostro 400, Q6600, Nvidia 8800GT running Win10 1903 quite smartly

Post by FlyingPenguin »

A client retired an old Dell Vostro 400 with the venerable Q6600 quad core CPU, and the equally venerable NVidia 8800GT. Even with only 3GB it runs WIn10 as snappy as a modern PC.

Found a cheap 4GB ram kit for it and I'll stick it on the garage shelf as a charity PC.

The Q6600 never got obsolete in my opinion. Still a strong chip to play current games with a decent video card.
